As a result of accession to the European Union, the Member States are obliged to harmonise their trade policies with Union rules. A good example of that is this report. In view of the agreements established between the EU and various countries with regard to tariffs and trade, countries applying for EU membership must modify the concessions provided for in their schedules. Upon the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, the tariff concessions of these two countries to Argentina were lower than those set out at EU level. It is therefore argued that, in order to comply with World Trade Organisation requirements, these two countries should open their markets to Argentine products.
We view this coercion and obligation as an attack on the sovereign right of each country to decide which bilateral trade relations it establishes internationally, according to its interests and the needs of its people. This modification to the concessions in the schedules of Bulgaria and Romania will not change the volume of imports of Argentine products to the EU, so the impact on other countries, such as Portugal, will be nonexistent."@en1
